The HOOPLE Libraries

[Hierarchical Object-Oriented Programming Language Extensions]

    HOOPLE is a collection of C++ libraries, applications and test programs.  It is hierarchical in nature in that each library is allowed to build upon the services of all lower-level libraries.  The lowest level library is called "basis", and it has both the most fundamental and the most widely used classes.  The HOOPLE source code is distributed under the GNU General Public License.  Copy it far and wide, use it for your own personal tasks however you please, but if you publish programs based on HOOPLE, then they must also follow the GNU GPL.
    Please send feedback & changes to the [Administrator].  The project page is located at SourceForge.  In the following documentation, we will abbreviate HOOPLE as hoople.

hoople Download

• The full collection of hoople libraries and applications is here: hoople_library.tar.gz
• The third-party libraries used for win32 compilation is here: 3rdparty_support.tar.gz
• The hoople libraries use the CLAM Makefile System for compilation.  A version of CLAM is already included in the hoople archive.
  
• Search Engine and Curious Friendly Code Root (points at the top of the hoople source code)

CVS Access at SourceForge

1. Login and retrieve the hoople codebase:
   cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@hoople-org.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/hoople-org login
        (just hit Enter when asked for a password)
   cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@hoople-org.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/hoople-org co -P hoople
2. Optional: Retrieve the hoople 3rdparty dependencies for win32 (only needed for windows compilation).
   cd hoople  (change directory to hoople download location)
   cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@hoople-org.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/hoople-org co -P 3rdparty

Quick Start Guide

1. Getting hoople and doing the first build:
1. download hoople (see above).  if you get a tar.gz file, untar (tar -xzf) it into your home folder as ~/hoople..
2. if you do not yet have bash and other unix apps, see the link "Setting up CLAM" for information on how to obtain them.
3. go to the top of the build (either ~/hoople or l:\) and execute this command: bash bin/bootstrap_build.sh
4. this should run for a while and end up generating many applications in the exe and tests subfolders, as well as a few dynamic libraries in the dll folder.  please excuse the windows terminology there, these apps and dynamic libraries are mostly portable and have been ported to unix, linux and win32 platforms.
2. Preparing for further software builds:
1. modify your ~/.bashrc to include the follow definitions:
       export REPOSITORY_DIR=~/hoople
       export MAKEFLAGS="-I $REPOSITORY_DIR/clam"
       if [ -z $TMP ]; then
         export TMP=~/.tmp
         if [ ! -d $TMP ]; then mkdir $TMP; fi
       fi
2. go to anywhere in the hoople hierarchy that you want to recompile something and type: make
3. Running hoople applications and tests:
1. add this to your current environment or to your .bashrc:
       export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$REPOSITORY_DIR/dll
2. launch the application from the exe directory or from the tests hierarchy, and it should now find the hoople shared libraries.
